Hi,
is there a possibility to have the type 'password' in the input
parameter
section? So that the password the user is typing is not shown on
screen?
Considering users and passwords, can I use user information (from a
user
that is logged in) in my tool configuration files?
Cheers,
Jelle

Hello Jelle,
Tools are not tightly integrated with the Galaxy framework by design.
Galaxy provides an interface to tools, but every tool can also be run
from the command lines as a stand-alone component. Because of this,
distributed tools do not depend on specific Galaxy entities like a
Galaxy user or password, and the distributed Galaxy framework does not
enable this. You could decide to add your won logic to enable this,
however.
